Happy Friday! Sending a virtual hug from @smileami

Happy Friday! Sending a virtual hug from @smileamile_ to you! We sure do miss being able to see our SAM family but know that we have some fun virtual activities and Zoom groups coming soon!

In the meantime, tag someone in the comments that you wish you could hug today and let them know you are thinking about them!

Now it’s your turn SAM families, counselors, vol

Now it’s your turn SAM families, counselors, volunteers, medical team, donors, board members and friends! We want to see your #socialdistancing version of “I Want It That Way” by the @backstreetboys.

Get creative! Sing it while you’re cleaning or find the best 20 seconds to sing while washing your hands. Come up with a dance or learn how to play it on an instrument! If you are quarantined alone, you can record a FaceTime, Skype or Zoom version with your friends/family/coworkers!

Then post it on your social media page and help bring some joy to someone else’s feed! Don’t forget to tag Smile-A-Mile so we see it! We might even repost it to our story. **Important Reminders: Safety First! If you choose to stand on a chair please make sure it is stationary and sturdy. When you post your video add the phrase "I do not own the rights to this song" in your description**

Considering the recent concerns and measures taken

Considering the recent concerns and measures taken across the United States to combat COVID-19, the staff at Smile-A-Mile is monitoring and will continue to seek advice and direction from our trusted medical team and partners at Children’s of Alabama as it relates to our programming. Additionally, we are monitoring the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH). It is, and will remain, our goal to ensure the safest environment possible for our participants, families, volunteers and employees. We are committed to maintaining best practices to reduce risk of all communicable illness, included COVID-19.

At this time and at the direction of the Children’s of Alabama Oncology Division leadership, we have made the informed yet difficult decision to cancel On-Therapy Family Camp April 24-26, 2020. Additionally, we will be cancelling all other group activities at SAM Place for the next four weeks. We will be assessing and revamping ways to continue to walk out our mission during this time, it may just look a little different. We know you all are dealing with changes brought about by the measures taken to stop the spread of this virus and thank you for your understanding and flexibility We will continue to rely on the direction and expertise of our medical support team and should it become necessary to cancel additional programming past this initial four weeks, we will do so in the best interest of all those affiliated with Smile-A-Mile. As always, the health, safety and well-being of all of our Smile-A-Mile Family is our paramount concern. We will continue to monitor this quickly evolving situation and keep you updated.

Please email Bruce@smileamile.com or Kellie@smileamile.com if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding and support.
